The Mate-in-2 problem in post #20 is missing a BP on a5, otherwise 1.Qb4 would also solve.

The point of this problem is the changed play following the mutual interference on e5 between the two black pieces. Initially 1...Re5 allows 2.Nc3 and 1...Be5 allows 2.Ne3, but the key surprisingly discards these set mates and prepares new responses to the same moves to e5 (which Black plays to answer the threat of 2.Qd6).

Hi Rocky, you spotted very well that, it is not missing, it was just the other way to achieve the mate in two, but i did not mention that line. I should have shown that line too happy.png

This type of problem is solved by a unique first move. See my blog, An introduction to composed chess problems.

Reminds me of a thread I created by the same title:

HOWEVER,::::: 3. ,,,,,, B-F4 +  mandates 4. R X B  Q X R+.  Mandates 5. K-d3 Q X N Mate for black!!!

2...Bf4+ 3.Rxf4 is mate.

Hard but nice one ! Hard to guess that white could lead to mate (mate to 9 after the end of this puzzle according to analysis) in such a situation !

On the first puzzle you can checkmate faster with Rook to e5 on the third move/Qe5

it would be delayed by 3 or more moves

That's right, Philipp Stamma has invented the algebraic notation.

That's only partially accurate.  Algebraic Notation had been in use in some form from the early Middle Ages. Even Shatranj as well as Medieval Chess, sometimes employed a form of A.N. 

Stamma did re-introduce it into the West, using an alpha-numeric system, after centuries in disuse.  But Stamma's system was pretty much ignored other than in Germany and Russia.  Strangely, the Société des Amateurs (Bernard, Carlier, Leger and Verdoni), followers of Philidor who, himself, had no use for A.N,  published their treatise (in 1775), "Traite des Amateurs," using Stamma's notation.
